Summary of all intelligence data stored in the vector database. Shows per-category data point counts, unique sources, latest/earliest timestamps, and total events tracked. Answers: what intelligence do we have and how recent is it?
AI agents call intel_domain_summary to retrieve information from Threat Intelligence MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool performs aggregation and reporting on stored threat intelligence metadata without making changes to data, executing code, or triggering external actions. It provides visibility into what intelligence exists and its recency, which is a read-only query operation. Even if an AI agent misuses this tool by requesting summaries repeatedly, there is no material harm—no data is modified, deleted, or acted upon.
From the tool's definition Tool retrieves and displays summary statistics of existing intelligence data: 'data point counts, unique sources, latest/earliest timestamps, and total events tracked'.
Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access intel_domain_summary gives an agent:
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Threat Intelligence MCP Server, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for intel_domain_summary:
{
"version": "1",
"default": "deny",
"tools": {
"intel_domain_summary": {}
}
}intel_domain_summary is read-only, so it stays allowed — but everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

Summary of all intelligence data stored in the vector database. Shows per-category data point counts, unique sources, latest/earliest timestamps, and total events tracked. Answers: what intelligence do we have and how recent is it?. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Threat Intelligence MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Threat Intelligence MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for intel_domain_summary: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Threat Intelligence MCP Server. Nothing to install.
intel_domain_summary is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the intel_domain_summary rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for intel_domain_summary. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
intel_domain_summary is provided by the Threat Intelligence MCP Server MCP server (marc-shade/world-intel-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
Start from Threat Intelligence MCP Server, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
